Ellie Goulding's sophomore album Halcyon has become quite the critical darling, much for the bipolar ballad/beat mixture found in "Figure 8." Check out the new music video accompanying the second single off Halcyon after the jump!

Sorry Carly, but for us, Ellie Goulding had the song of the summer with "Lights"...granted the song came out more than a year ago, but that’s a technicality. And with her new album set to drop next Tuesday, Ellie’s also dropping a hot, new track—this time with superstar DJ Calvin Harris.

Check out “I Need Your Love” below and let us know whether or not you’ll be getting your Friday happy hour going with this one...

We brought you Ellie Goulding's lyric video for her single "Anything Could Happen," and now we've got our hands on the gorgeous official music video.

We've had our queer eye on Ellie Goulding for some time now, so it's nice to see the singer finally take America by storm with "Lights," which currently sits at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. But we've been praying to our Ellie shrine for new music for over a year now and finally have it in the form of "Anything Can Happen," the lead single from the U.K. artist's sophomore album Halcyon (out October 8).

Can lightning strike twice for Ellie? Anything could happen! Follow the jump to check out the "Anything Could Happen" lyric video and let us know what you think in the comments!
